In the documentation (V4.0) for the t_optmgmt routine, the statement
                                   "Note
     Although other transport providers may support the t_optmgmt
     function, the Digital UNIX TCP transport provider does not. 
     See the transport provider documentation for information about
     option management. 
See t_optmgmt(3) for more information." 
is made.  The man page for t_optmgmt(3) has no references to
any restrictions on its use.
If t_optmgmt is unsupported, what supported alternatives are there
for this?  The goal is to set the equivalent of TCP_KEEPALIVE 
(from the xti_internet(7) man page).
A similar question was asked in Note 5618.0 of the ALPHA_OSF_IFT
notes file with response.
